How to Make Old School Tomato Sauce With Meatballs
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
- In a large bowl, combine ground beef, ground pork, breadcrumbs, eggs, Parmesan cheese, onion, garlic, parsley, salt, and pepper. Gently mix until just combined.
- Roll the meat mixture into 1-inch meatballs.
- Heat olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Brown the meatballs in batches, ensuring not to overcrowd the pot. Set aside.
- Add crushed tomatoes, tomato paste, sugar, oregano, basil, and red pepper flakes to the pot. Bring to a simmer, then reduce heat to low and cook for at least 1 hour, stirring occasionally.
- Add the browned meatballs to the sauce. Cover and simmer for another 1 hour, or until the meatballs are cooked through and the sauce has thickened.
- Taste and adjust seasonings as needed. Serve over your favorite pasta or enjoy as a standalone dish.
